Q&A with David Daniel Kennedy

Feeling blocked? Unhappy with your life? Here's a quick Feng Shui lesson from expert David Daniel Kennedy, the author of the best seller Feng Shui for Dummies (IDG, $19.99).


Q: Why did you want to write Feng Shui for Dummies?

DDK: I wanted to make Feng Shui easy. And I thought it was time for people to have a simple way to change their lives through changing their space. It's about the flow of energy within your space. It's about how your environment influences your destiny.


Q: What is the biggest misconception about the art of Feng Shui?

DDK: People don't understand the basic concept, which is that you can choose the life you want to live. You can improve the life that you are living. Anyone can go after it and make an immediate difference in their lives.


Q: It's easy to talk about changing your life, but give us a first step?

DDK: The first step is to write down what you would really like to see improved in your life. Perhaps you want a more harmonious house. You want to do better at work. You want a better relationship. First, you have to define your goals.


Q: For us dummies in this area, let's talk about specifics for a moment. Don't the colors in your home have a big affect on your life?

DDK: Each color in the spectrum has a significance. For instance, red is about energy and passion. Purple is associated with royalty and the finer things in life. Green is a color that denotes hope and a new life. It's also about growth and good for health.


Q: What is the significance of having a red door on your house?

DDK: Red is powerful, energetic and protective.


Q: What do crystals have to do with Feng Shui?

DDK: Crystals make the energy in your space more balanced and more clear. They also add brightness. So any area where people need those qualities, they can hang a crystal.


Q: Tell us about a few of your success stories and people who have changed their lives through Feng Shui.

DDK: I have one client in Omaha who three years ago was making $48,000 a year. We did Feng Shui and she will make $190,000 this year. And this is only her fourth year in real estate with no previous experience. I have another real estate company as a client. They were doing $25 million in sales. After Feng Shui, they boosted sales up to $100 million.


Q: Won't skeptics say, "Come on. Is this only because of Feng Shui?"

DDK: Of course. Feng Shui wasn't the only thing these people did to improve their lives, but it was a big thing. There are many other success stories. I had one client who was trying to have a child and I gave her a Feng Shui cure. She was pregnant soon afterwards. I had other clients who had been looking for the perfect home for eight months in the San Francisco area, which is really rough. We had a Feng Shui consultation. A week later, they found a house.


Q: Who have you helped the most?

DDK: It's impossible to tell. I have thousands of clients. And how do you compare someone who couldn't sell a house for months to someone who couldn't have a baby and then both realized their goals after Feng Shui? How do you compare someone who was going bankrupt and now they're okay to someone who was going to get divorced and now is not? All of my clients have had powerful results. That's the one common bond.
